Flag of the Minister of Navy

[Minister of Navy 1926]         [Miister of Navy, 1917]

Flag of the Minister of Navy, as shown in Flaggenbuch (1926) (left) and in National Geographic (1917, captioned "Secretary of Navy") (right) - Images by Željko Heimer, 20 April 2003

Flaggenbuch (1926) [d9e26] shows the flag of the Minister of Navy as a square red flag with four white bombs, one in each corner, and a white cabled anchor in the middle.
National Geographic (1917) [gmc17] shows for the "Secretary of Navy" (that is, the Minister of Navy) a flag in ratio 3:4, red with four white bombs, placed one-two-one, and an anchor in a white fimbriated canton.

The flag of the Minister of Navy does not appear in any subsequent source. This flag is used today by the Commander in Chief of the Naval Forces.
